After two days at Disneyland we took a much needed relaxing day at the beach.

Mabel: She was reunited with "her ocean" as she likes to call it. She loves the water so much and even though it was freezing she didn't mind one bit.

Gus: He was content on the shore playing in a tide pool. I love his sun in the eyes face and his beach waves.

Mabel: Going through her Valentine's from preschool. She was so excited and told us, "I got one from every single person in my class!"

Gus: When I told him that his new t-shirt read lil' heartbreaker, his response was, "I do not break hearts! That's awful Mama!", in a very disappointed tone.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Mabel: We've been trying to give her more responsibility around the house. Her favorite thing to do is match the socks from the laundry. If she finds out I did them without her she will undo them all and start over. Apparently she does it best.

Gus: He is able to get dressed all by himself these days and he's quite proud of it.

Mabel: She's constantly playing make believe. I found her reading to her stuffed animals before school.

Gus: You can find him on the floor playing with anything that goes.

Mabel: Room with a view. 

Gus: Taking it easy.

Mabel: She yells "woo-wooo" or "oh yeah!" when she's riding around the skate park. It's like she's cheering herself on.

Gus: Strapping his helmet back on after a little break.

The last set of portraits for 2014. We woke up to snow on the last day of the year and lots of it! The kids had so much fun playing in it and it made for some great pictures. Last year I started the project with snow pictures so it's only fitting that we're ending with them! They have both grown so much this year. I feel so blessed to say that both Mabel and Gus had a very happy and healthy 2014. I will definitely be doing another portrait project again starting right now. Happy New Year everyone!
